In RAM Connection integrated within STAAD.Pro I am designing a connection as per IS code. But why I am seeing references from Euro code in many places?

From the snap it can be seen for few checks Euro code has been used in the calculation. Apart from that in most of the cases Indian code is used. I presume you will agree with me that for all scenarios related to connection design, our Indian code is not very clear or remain silent. As a standard practice we need to check them. As a result we refer Euro code in those cases where we do not get a guideline from IS code. Euro code is referred here as the underlying philosophy of design mostly matches with IS code and it is a good alternate option for this case. You may have also been noticed in some cases the reference is [2] which is the book of Prof N. Subramanian. The reason is same also here.
